5 And she saw that she was waiting in vain; her hope was destroyed, and she took one from her cubs, and she made him a fierce lion.
6 And he walked about in the midst of lions; he became a fierce lion, and he learned to tear prey; he ate humans.
7 And he knew their widows, and he devastated their cities, and the land was appalled, and everyone in it at the sound of his roar.
8 And nations set out against him from the surrounding provinces, and they spread their net over him, and he was caught in their pit.
9 And they put him in a collar with hooks, and they brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into a prison, so that his voice would not be heard any longer on the mountains of Israel.
10 Your mother was like the vine in your vineyard; planted fruitfully beside water, and it was full of branches from many waters.
11 And she produced branches of strength to scepters of rulers; its height became tall between thick foliage, and it was seen because of its tallness among the abundance of its branches.
